A bit more about us
Experienced
You’re unlikely to find any market research company north or south of Ireland with more skills and experience than Cognisense.
Since 1965, our team have helped inform some of the most important decisions in public policy, societal change, commerce and industry for public and private sector clients, first trading as Ulster Marketing Surveys, and later Kantar Millward Brown Ulster.

We’ve also helped huge numbers of marketing professionals understand consumer mood when developing their corporate and brand strategies.
